DEVELOPMENT OF SEAMED COMPRESSION SOCKS AND COMPARISON WITH CLASS I SOCKS USING EXISTING MATHEMATICAL MODELS

Abstract

Compression therapy is an important method for treating venous diseases such as venous edema and venous hypertension. Regular compression therapy's main objective is to diminish leg swelling by controlling blood flow and avoiding the recurrence of reversible blood flow. Compression socks are often recommended as therapeutic garments. In this study, a seamed compression sock was developed using fabric with an interlock knit structure. Three other sock samples were produced by using circular knitting MERZ CC4 model machine for comparison. The results demonstrate that the developed sock meets all the requirements of compression class I. Statistical analysis reveals that fabric parameters, particularly fabric weight, effectively explain compression pressure intensity according to the values of coefficient of determination, coefficient of correlation (r), and means sum of square errors (MSE). In this work, Laplace's Law and a few preexisting mathematical models were used to calculate the compression pressure of both standard compression socks and socks with seams, with results that were essentially similar. The points of data are tightly clustered around line of regression, showing that there is little variation in the compression pressure for socks with seams.
